And this is also a battle for Puma.

At a time when Adidas and Nike are supporting a market in China, as Adidas' brother company, Puma's performance is far from the same, and it is really unreasonable to put China and Asia on the big cake.

In the entertainment industry, they naturally have no shortage of stars. But in the sports world they are involved in, there are very few athletes involved in China, and most of them have been preempted by Adi and Nike.

In this case, they urgently need an athlete with enough visibility to support them in the Asian market. So when Mendes came to the door, they didn't say three words and agreed.

Speaking of the issue of endorsement, Raiola also said before that he would find an endorsement for Sun Xiang, but there was no follow-up.

However, what Sun Xiang didn't know was that Nike was the first to find Raiola, because Sun Xiang's Wolfsburg and the Chinese national team were sponsored by Nike, so they wanted to sign Sun Xiang's product portrait rights for the next 7 years at a price of 10 million.

Raiola disagreed.

10 million for 7 years, this is unacceptable to him, what he wants is 10 million for 1 year, however Nike can't offer that much.

The reason is that there are countless football players under Nike, and there are many sports months in China, and they can't put such a sky-high contract on a teenager who is only 17 years old, which is against the law of the market.

It's just that Puma doesn't care about this, and the number of years they can provide Sun Xiang is limited, but the amount is still very objective. As long as Sun Xiang signs, the copyright in the next 5 years will be represented by Puma, and in return, 70% of the 55 million endorsement fee will go directly to Sun Xiang's account, and the annual income is expected to reach 10 million, which is much higher than his current annual salary.

"Can you give me a few days to think about it?" After a while, Sun Xiang spoke.

"Of course, it's my fault that I took the liberty of coming here today, but I hope you can give me an answer before the end of the year, so that it is better to plan for the new year than now." Mendes said.

"Plans? What is the plan? "Is there something else going on with Mendes?

"I can't tell you that, but if you sign it, I'm sure it will make you happy. That's it, without disturbing your leisure time. Mendez smiled meaningfully and pushed the door open.

"Oh yes, if you sign, I'll give you a gift in my own name, please look forward to it."

After Mendez left, Sun Xiang looked at the document in a daze.

"Gifts....."

On December 21, 2018, the last game before Christmas, the Premier League ushered in an epic matchup. Reds Liverpool take on visiting Arsenal at Anfield Stadium, and this game is also another challenge for Sun Xiang in what the media seems.

After all, whether it was Wolfsburg or Newcastle before, the strength was not very strong, and it was impossible to test Sun Xiang's true strength on the front line.

Against Klopp's team this time, if Sun Xiang can still have a bright performance, then he may have to watch the next games.

Anfield Stadium was originally home to English Premier League side Everton before having their own team, Liverpool, in 1892.

Today, Anfield Stadium is divided into four stands, the KOP Stand, the Centennial Stand, the Anfield Road Stand and the Main Stand.

The main stand is located above the players' tunnel, and the players will walk into the stadium from here.

"Sun, do you have a player in the Liverpool squad that you like?"

In the pre-match press conference, Arsene Wenger brought Sun Xiang to the scene.

In the face of reporters' questions, Sun Xiang replied decisively, Xavi Alonso.

Sun Xiang has always had a soft spot for players with accurate long passes, and Xavi Alonso is also one of his favourite players.

The game was played at 4pm local time, and it was raining "ice" in the cold city of Liverpool, and you don't know if he was in a solid or liquid state, but it was just very cold.

In the warm-up activities before the game, Sun Xiang was basically wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, leggings, training pants, and socks. As long as it can be worn and does not affect his activities, he basically wears it.

At the same time, he was also very envious of those teammates, all of them were like not afraid of the cold, and they came out in a long-sleeved training suit.

After more than half an hour of warm-up, the players returned to the locker room to change into their uniforms, and after waiting for the coach to speak, they were basically ready to start the game.

'The weather today has a big impact on the players and they have a lot to overcome. Bad weather, slippery pitches, speeding up the ball and making sure you don't get injured in these temperatures, it's a very important game, both teams are playing and I don't think the coach wants that kind of injury. ”

'Sun is still playing as a striker and it seems that Arsene Wenger has already enjoyed some sweetness in that and he wants to continue. Of course, Arsenal fans will also want Sun to score more goals for the team. ”

"Liverpool have seen off a bit of a drop in attack since Philippe Coutinho away, but fortunately Salah is still in good form and he is still a great attacking weapon in the team. And in this game, how to defend Salah will be a big problem for Wenger to solve. ”

'Of course, it's not just Salah, but Mane, Roberto Firmino and Arsenal veteran Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Martin Taylor added.

Before the game, Alexandre Lacazette had a small cold and was not included in the squad, and French centre-forward Giroud ushered in one of the few starts. He was partnered up front with Sun Xiang and followed by a midfield five of Welbeck, Wilshere, Mesut Ozil, Xhaka and Bellerin, in a 3-5-2 formation.

After the pre-match ceremony, players from both sides shook hands with each other to start the game.

The scene before the start of the game also amused the commentators at the scene.

Because it was so cold, the players wore their jackets but had to take them off after the pre-match ceremony.

Sun Xiang was also wearing an Arsenal jacket like everyone else.

After the ceremony, the team members took off their coats one after another and threw them on the sidelines. At this time, people were surprised to find that Sun Xiang was still wearing a winter training shirt under his coat.

If you know that the winter training jersey is added with a layer of small down, it is much warmer to wear than a thin field jacket, these two clothes are worn together, the effect is like a thin down jacket, no wonder Martin Taylor will take advantage of this to laugh at Sun Xiang.

"You see how cold he is, others only need to take off one, and Sun needs to take off two, maybe this is an additional warm-up activity."

Alan Smith also smiled: "I hope Sun can warm up quickly during the game, otherwise no one will be able to give him a warm coat during the game." ”

And Sun Xiang's move also made everyone present, including Liverpool fans, laugh, adding a little joy to this tense game.
